Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies TAKE PART IN DAIRY DAY: ♦ Today's edition of the Daily Democrat is particularly Intended to attract attention to Dairy Day which conies day after tomorrow and to again emphasize the importance of that occasion as we view it. ♦ Many local institutions and business houses have joined us and have assisted in making this issue an impressive one by giving you their messages of cheer and congratulations. ♦ More and more each year we are coming to recognize the importance of dairying as a part of the Adams County farm and we now boast of a cheese factory, milk condensory and creamery, ranking among the first dozep counties of the state as a dairy center and we predict that we will continue to go forward until we lead. ♦ This county has more than nine thousand head of cattle which yield annually to the owners, several hundred thousand dollars in cash. It's a wonderful business and this section which some years ago was considered unusual as a horse market is now becoming Known as a cattle center. ♦ Much progress has been made here by the Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., during the past decade and it is therefore very fitting that we all join them in making Wednesday—their day—such an occasion as will long be remembered. Mr. Klepper and those assisting him are in good faith and the only desire is to create further interest in a business which it is believed will aid to restore prosperity and bring back smiles of confidence. If that occurs in any degree we are sure every one will be more than pleased. ♦ ♦ Among the visitors of note Wednesday will be Mr. J. L. Kraft, founder of the great company which for years bore his name; his brothers who have assisted him; railway officials; representatives of a dozen large business enterprises; Governor Leslie and his party and many others. Guests will be here from a hundred nearby cities and from the countryside over a hundred mile radius and to all of these will be extended a hand of welcome, a smile of genuine hospitality, an assurance of faith in our government and her institutions. ♦ The local Chamber of Commerce, co-operating with Cloverleaf Creameries, have arranged a program which will extend during the evening and we believe it is sufficient to interest every one who comes, to a point of desire to remain. ♦ W e are all set for Dairy Day and every local citizen is invited to consider himself or herself a meml>er of the reception committee, to aid in making every one happy and the day the helpful one it should be. « :: a » :: :: ♦ This is certain—Adams County has felt the recent depression less than she possibly could if we had not had our dairy business. a a :: « « a ♦ Will Klepper, genial manager of Ciocerleaf Dairies, Inc., is a hustler with a million-dollar smile and a personality hard to resist. His untiring energy and his natural leadership have aided him to do much for the community by building a business of large proportions. Wednesday will be a great day for him for he is happiest when he is meeting those people from the rural sections and the cities who have aided him in this. a :: « a « a ♦ Decatur merchants are co-operating to make Dairy Day a great event and they have added a program of much interest, including besides varied entertainment, a hundred special bargains at the very beginning of the buying season. All stores will be open in the evening and there will be much to please you. *aaa a a a ♦ The St. Louis Cardinals tightened up Saturday and before the Athletics got going had put away enough scores to win the game and the championship. It was a great series, with a total gate of more than a million dollars which is the largest ever and not bad for a depression year. Baseball is a great old game and will be as long as its kept clean. aaz a a a ♦ Northwestern and Notre Dame battled throught a tough gridiron contest Saturday afternoon. The rain came down in torrents and the held was so slippery and muddy that these two wonderful outfits made some scores of fumbles. The final was oto 0 which didn't settle anything. aaa a a a ♦ Everything is in readiness for Dairy Day and we are expecting a great crowd of happy folks. The tents were erected today, the plans are all set. It will be going big Wednesday. aaa a a a ♦ Governor and Mrs. Harry G. Leslie will be given a sincere welcome here on Dairy Day. This is not a political affair in any sense and every one will do honor to the chief executive of Indiana, who by the way is a tireless worker, a square shooter and a regular fellow. a a a a a a ♦ The weather man says Wednesday will be fair and cool. Keep that up old boy and make good and every thing will be lovely. a a a a a a ♦ Second street will be open for the big crowd of visitors here week and while we regret that it is not complete we are sure every one will agree that it is even now a great improvement over the old brick pavement which wore out our feet if we tried to use it longer than five minutes at a time. The contractors have certainly made excellent progress and best of all are putting in a real job that we can be proud of for years to come. a a a a a a ♦ Al Capone is having a tough time in court but that's not the kind of punishment a fellow like him should have, at least Its not a drop in the bucket to what he deserves. He certainly is not convincing any one that he has maintained elaborate homes, gambled, feasted and sported generally on a salary of a tew dollars a week. The only way to keep this king of beer runners from making a million a year is to lock him up and even then he may be organized to go on. a a a a a a ♦ Discovery Day. observing the anniversary of the discovery of i America far back in 1492, a great occasion for the world and for all we folks who have come along since. Things have changed considerably since that autumn day when Christopher Columbus stepped out to be greeted by a band of timid and suspicious Indians who sensed a fear of instrusion. During the 439 years, the great forests have given way to wonderful farms, cities and industrial centers, surpassing all the world, the rivers have been harnessed and the electric current taken from the air has turned this peaceful land of the long ago into a fairyland of bright lights and a business speed that could not have been imagined in the past. It's a day to celebrate.

TAILOR INVENTS CORK JACKET Braddock. Pa., — (U.K) — Some : United States seaman may some l day owe his life to the work and j inventive genius of a Bradoek tail- j or, whose own fear of drowning led him to develop a new life preserving coat. Steve Gates, tailor here for 25 years, worked for years to p-rfect such a coat. Many times he failed, hut each time the thought of his own narrow escape from drowning spurred him on. In developing the coat Gates triblocks, dust and so forth but they did not have the bouyant properties he sought. Finally he began experimenting with cork shavings as a base and found they worked admirably. The coat resembling an ordinary sleeveless jacket from the in side, is fitted with four tubular attachments containing the cork shav ings on the outside. The coat was tested successfully by Gates, who cannot swim, and others, and in a Through the efforts of Congressdead we’ght test supported a 200man Clyde Kelly, the U. S. Navy pound block of steel for 24 hours, tow is experimenting with the new jacket. Age Doesn't Affect Ohioans Pomeroy, O —(U.PJ— Old age is no signal for rest and quiet in Meigs County.

BLOSSOM TIME AT SHRINE TUESDAY NIGRT It is not the success of the beautiful operetta "Blossom Time” due at the Shrine Theatre, Tuesday. October 13th for one night only, prodigious as it has been, which has endeared the Franz Shubert operetta to music and theatre goers the world over. Clearly the appeal has come from reverse angles, and its world wide triumphs have been incidental. It’s amazing appeal lines in the operettas inherent values — a lovely story of simplicity, tenderness and heart satisfying quality set in charming old world scenes and custom ed as beautifully as quaintly, in its veritable modes of that more poised and gracious time. The story centers around this modest genius, Franz Shubert, who loved but once, but in that loving gave birth to undying and matchless music that glorified his own heart-throbbing romance. It is freely admitted that this years cast in "Blossom Jime" is the ablest the famous operetta has ever been endowed with and with a syphonic orchestra to play its melo- , dies we should have an evening in i the theatre that will- long be rei membered. —Advt.
